Course Details

The Emerald Enduro will take place in the diverse terrain of Carrick Mountain, one of the most scenic parts of Ireland. With stunning views across the Wicklow hills to the Irish Sea and a landscape that changes from open rocky mountainside to rooty, flowy woodland singletrack, Carrick is a classic Irish venue.

All trails will be closed for riding after Friday 12th May, though on foot inspection is permitted. All stages are unique and only accessible by bike (no uplift inside the forest). No form or motorised vehicle / motor bike allowed in the forest unless permitted by the organisers.

There will be a neutral feed zone with energy drink, water and snacks, which will be easily accessed during transition to the next stage. Riders may NOT stash their own food/liquids inside this area or any where else on the course.
